BOOZE RING FLOURISHING IN ORANGE COUNTY Officers Making an Effort to Squeich Industry Working with city authorities, the beach district, federal prohibition enforcement officers Thursday had fired the first gun in a drive to rid Orange county of bootleggers and break up the ring believed to be responsible for the wholesale manufacture and sale of whisky and other intoxicating liquors in this district. As the result of the operations of federal officers, Ira L. Evans, Balboa butcher, arrested and charged with violation of the national prohibition laws, is at liberty under $2000 bonds pending his hearing before Deputy United States Commissioner Maurice Enderle, of Santa Ana. At the same time J. F. Welsh, acting city marshal of Newport Beach, was continuing his search for a woman residing at 413 Bay avenue, Balboa, described as one of the confederates in the liquor ring. Federal officers issued a warrant for the woman's arrest. "Evans was arrested after prohibition enforcement officers had secured sufficient evidence to justify this action," said Commissioner Enderle. "Similar evidence has been secured in connection with the woman, but confederates evidently got word to her in time for her to escape from Balboa. Thus far officers have failed to locate her." According to Acting Marshal Welsh, prohibition officers working under instructions from H. H. Dolley, federal agent in charge at Los Angeles, have had Evans and the woman under surveillance for several weeks. It was not believed, however, that the pair were actually engaged in the manufacture of liquor. "We have reason to believe," said more cheaply than privately owned utilities. Third—The workability of the act is open to serious question. The report further emphasized the points that the act would prove a dangerous instrument in creating a "one man power" board with unlimited opportunities for political activities and involves the principle of unjust taxation since all the people of the state must pledge full faith and credit for the payment of interest and principal of bonds which would benefit only local areas. ROTARIANS FAVOR RELIEF FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN The following resolution was adopted by Rotary International at their convention in Los Angeles, a short time ago: Whereas, Rotarians have evinced an interest in crippled children and have expressed a desire to assist in bringing to crippled children physical correction and surgical relief and education in cases where such treatment will be of benefit. Now, therefore, be it Resolved, that the 13th annual convention of the International Association of Rotary clubs commend this humanitarian activity on the part of the Rotary clubs so engaged, and direct attention thereto of the delegates present at this convention, that their own clubs may take cognizance of the movement as offering an opportunity for service in their respective communities. The adoption of this resolution was considered one of the most important actions taken by the convention. The resolution was presented by the Rotary clubs of Elyria, Toledo and Cleveland, Ohio. The work has been carried on for many years in eastern communities and the headquarters for the International society for Crippled Children is in Elyria, Ohio. The SAVINGS CERTIFICATES The secretary of the treasury has just made an announcement of special concern to those who are holders or prospective investors in treasury savings certificates. Summarized briefly, Sec. Mellon announces that, commencing October 1, 1922, a change takes place in treasury savings certificates which then and thereafter will be issued in new form only at the following prices: $1000 certificates for $820, instead of $800. $100 certificates for $82, instead of $80. $25 certificates for $20.50, instead of $20. Also, that the sale of $1 treasury savings stamps will be discontinued then. Meanwhile, the present issue of 4 1-2 per cent certificates can be purchased until September 30. You will render a distinct service to your patrons by acquainting them at once this announced change in treasury savings certificates. It means a reduction in interest-yield from about 4 1-2 per cent year to 4 per cent, compounded semi-annually, if held five years to maturity; and from about 3 1-2 per cent per year to 3 per cent if redeemed before the five year maturity period. In view of steadily declining interest returns on all desirable securities the new 4 per cent treasury savings certificates announced are very attractive investments, providing, as they also do, ideal means of saving with absolute safety and liberal interest; ready cash if withdrawn. It's not what we make—it's what we take cognizance of the movement as offering an opportunity for service in their respective communities. The adoption of this resolution was considered one of the most important actions taken by the convention. The resolution was presented by the Rotary clubs of Elyria, Toledo and Cleveland, Ohio. The work has been carried on for many years in eastern communities and the headquarters for the International society for Crippled Children is in Elyria, Ohio. The Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange county just received considerable information from international headquarters, which will assist greatly in systematizing the work in our county. The international association encourages the formation of district or county associations, such as this Orange county association, to care for these cases so as to bring the treatment as near as possible to the child, instead of bringing the child to the treatment. This work is carried on throughout the county by voluntary subscriptions, and here the association is receiving very good support. The work is carried on as fast as funds will permit. Anyone desiring to assist this worthy work can mail or deliver their subscriptions to Mrs. M. E. Canby, the association secretary at 321 East Center street, Anaheim; Mrs. Thomas H. McFadden, of Placentia, or Mrs. Emanuel Smith, of Fullerton, Cal. LIFE ON MARS Scientists continue to discuss the possibility of life on the planets, particularly Mars. Of course the layman holds aloof, willing to learn of the wise. He does not profess to know anything about the matter. Contemplating it in a broad way, the thought strikes him that unless the bodies in the heavens sustain some sort of life, a life capable of progress and development, there has been a measureless waste of materially. He wonders why the earth, a speck of dust, "a mote dancing on a sunbeam," should have been the subject of unique distinction. The old theory that this globe is the center of the universe has passed out. It is an atom in a large scheme, contributing a moiety, perhaps, to the music of the spheres, but a minor figure in the orchestra. The laymen also thinks that the scientific discussion is purely academic in that it assumes that life... ENGINEERS CONDEMN WATER AND POWER ACT The San Francisco chapter of American Association of Engineers, at a special meeting held on September 5, at the Palace hotel, San Francisco, unanimously voted disapproval of the proposed California water and power act. This action followed the report given by the special committee appointed last February to make a thorough investigation of the measure. This committee consisted of J. J. Rosedale, chairman, construction engineer; E. E. Carpenter, consulting engineer; Chas. H. Lee, consulting hydraulic engineer; George Mattis, consulting engineer; Donald M. Baker, hydraulic engineer. The report set forth the following conclusions concerning the act, which were endorsed by the chapter: First—The act is not needed. Second—That the state, operating under the proposed act, could not permanently furnish power to consumers He wonders why the earth, a speck of dust, "a mote dancing on a sunbeam," should have been the subject of unique distinction. The old theory that this globe is the center of the universe has passed out. It is an atom in a large scheme, contributing a moiety, perhaps, to the music of the spheres, but a minor figure in the orchestra. The laymen also thinks that the scientific discussion is purely academic in that it assumes that life elsewhere must be similar to the life with which scientists are familiar. It does not seem improbable that there are forms of life flourishing elsewhere that in the mundane environment would be instantly extinguished. The lusty Martian, making a visit, might find conditions here fatal. On the other hand the earthling projected to Mars might die of the atmosphere rather than the impact. A man frozen into a cake of ice would not survive. There are organisms that flourish in ice. Evolution shows that life had advanced according to the conditions. As man is, his necessities demand a ration of oxygen. There may be a type corresponding to man, that would wither and vanish in the presence of oxygen. These speculations are nothing serious. They are not put forth as in any sense serious. But they seem to have as substantial a basis as many of the conjectures credited to the savants who take their telescopes and poke 'round among the stars.

It is highly probable that congress will be called in special session soon after the November elections, if the present session adjourns before then, for the express purpose of considering the shipping bill. It is the hope and expectation of the president that the measure will become a law before final adjournment of the 67th congress on March 4th, next. ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC LEGACY War wages under a Democratic administration have borne their fruit of wage wars, and the innocent public is footing the bill.
